Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea reign on Digital Downloads chart for one more week

There was plenty of big news on the Billboard 200 this week but the Digital Downloads charts have returned to the stasis we came to expect...but hopefully not for long.

Nos. 1-4 in the Top 10 this week remain exactly the same as last week, but we'll do a refresher in case you forgot. Ariana Grande and "Problem" are the top song for the second week in a row, although her total sales fell by 46 percent. Still, that's a healthy 235,000 download take. Iggy Azalea still earns MVP for this week, as she both guested on "Problem," plus her own single "Fancy" stuck around at no. 2 after selling 216,000 downloads (a much more modest 2 percent drop). "Happy" and Pharrell Williams remain relevant as the song placed at no. 3 after selling 156,000 downloads. Finally, John Legend and "All Of Me" took no. 4 after moving 144,000 downloads.

So what's new? The no. 5 song isn't, but it marks another move up for Lil Jon and DJ Snake's "Turn Down For What," which rose in sales by 3 percent to 130,000 downloads.

Three songs made their first appearances within the Top 10, and all happened to place at nos. 6-8. Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson rose by 26 percent with the single "Love Never Felt So Good," which was spurred on by the release of Jackson's new album Xscape. Jason Derulo has seen stock in his single "Talk Dirty" fall recently, but his new single "Wiggle" has picked up the slack. A social media campaign inviting fans to do their own "wiggles" helped boost sales by 114 percent to 94,000 downloads (and provided Derulo with interesting footage to pour over). Finally, Nico & Vinz stop in at no. 8 with "Am I Wrong," which sold 93,000 downloads. The track was huge in Europe during 2013, but has just now made it to our shores.

Coldplay experienced a significant drop for "A Sky Full of Stars," but it managed to stick around at no. 9 after moving 87,000 downloads. Derulo came back for one more track in the Top 10, as his "Talk Dirty" sold 83,000 copies and placed at no. 10.
